Strung along Bornholm's rocky west coast between Rønne and Hasle, Sorthat-Muleby is a quiet ribbon of a town where low fishermen's cottages face the Baltic. Its name recalls a working past: 'Sorthat' nods to the coal once dug from the island's seams, and the little harbours once sheltered herring boats. Today the mood is gentler. The Bornholm coastal path threads past the shore, offering wide sea views, smooth granite outcrops and swimming spots warmed by summer light. You can catch woodsmoke drifting from Bornholm's celebrated herring smokehouses nearby, watch the sun sink straight into the water, and cycle empty lanes fringed with wild roses. There are no crowds and few grand sights — just the rhythm of the waves, weathered stone, and the easy charm of a Baltic fishing village that has kept its unhurried soul intact.
